there are idiots who get

excited when they hear that a

storm is approaching,

they smile & secretly wish for

the end---

in the past few days

when hurricane Sandy has been

ripping up the Caribbean,

religious psychos of all shapes &

sizes, no matter how far from the

water they live, have been

rejoicing, either saying aloud

to the rational:

often granted to those whose cards

of concentrated desperation &

loneliness,

and after all the money spent on

campaigning/wooing/brainwashing

the american public, and after all

the lies broadcasted all over the

screens, and after all the gas prices

dropped, and after all the fingers

have been pointed, the pundits have

jizzed all over the place,

finally that “democratic” climax

erupted & all those who flooded

the ballot box (even in this day)

woke up the next morning to find

that…

s/he woke up scared in the

early morning, with a notion

that momma thought should’ve

been more complex for him/her

to fear or understand or

at least come to terms with

life---

“i’m going to die, mom…i’m

going to die…”

s/he kept on repeating it

which carried the innocence of

imagine now if we could shelf the

faces,

the faces of liars, the pocketed charlatans,

imagine now if we could

stop the ads, stop the speeches,

stop the funding, stop the campaigns,

stop the illusion of hope

vested in a smile, a nod, a salute, a

good hairdo or the mention of the word

“faith”---

inevitability

washes away

all the hopes &

dreams, it

eliminates all the

divisions between

us, it pulls us all

down to the core

meaninglessness

of which we were

mistakenly birthed,

it takes away the

value that we naïvely

put on this short

withering life, it

takes the kin, it takes

the dog, it takes the

bird, it takes the pet

fish & all the insects

and so we have

over 2000 US

soldiers dead now in

add those deaths to

the 17,000+ that

have been wounded,

with limbs ripped

off & psychological

damage beyond

imagination &

you get a number

well over the

3000 that died in

the 9/11 attack

11 years ago…

so,

the question is,

do we need the death

toll of american soldiers

to exceed that…
